Have you folks seen this?

Yes, I have. I really would like to know about the software involved ... but I have not had time to peruse it yet. But I will ...
 
I'm wondering what the points system is like...the example said 4 hours a day for a month would net $10/month...or about 12 hours for every $1...seems like it would take a very long time for some decent gift cards or something like that.
 
If you use the "unused cycles" - when you work and the computer is idle, this may be OK since you use the electrical power anyhow.
I do not think it pays to have computers running 24/7 ... unless you have a 6 or 8-core computer (as I understand it GPUs are not used). That would probably yield 4 - 6 USD per day and computer. If the computer draws 150 W per hour (which is reasonable) that is 3.6kWh/24h at a cost of .12 USD/kWh that would cost less than 0.50 USD/day. the profit would be - optimistically - 3.50 USD/day, 105 USD/month.
I would jump at this if it were cash. Since I - in Sweden - have to pay VAT (=sales tax) of 25% on everything which I would like to have (e.g. HDD, CPUs, GPUs, RAM, mobos) plus customs costs (some 10-12% of the value), the surcharge would be 30-35 USD for each 100USD earned. If they would be located in the European Union, I would also consider it - no customs costs, no VAT.
 
I sent and invite to them:

We'll see. Guess I could dedicate the 20 cores I have on 3 computers to see if it makes financial sense for a month. If not, no worse than running a project for a month like normal.

This heat wave in Chicago has killed any hope of running any DC projects the past 2 months. No relief in sight either. I'm really getting tired of 100*F days.
 
I had signed up when this thread was started a few weeks ago. I just received the official invite to create an account and download the software.

I don't have a lot of time to mess with it before I leave for work. I'm going to leave it running all day and see how many "Points" I have accumulated.
